Seconds in this RP:
Skye Syrus Mummymon Skye was excited. Not because it was the Christmas season (though of course that attributed to it as well), but more so because of where she was going, and why she was going there. Things had been so hectic at home of late - between the move, and lessons, and so on and so forth, there had hardly been time to breathe it seemed ... and when she added her rehearsals and performances on top of that, it seemed amazing she found the time to make it out here at all.
Then again, her parents were gone - and she was old enough to make her own decisions.
She still couldn't believe she and Syrus had actually had the chance - finally! - to get together once again. It had been so long ... she missed him so much ...
Her breath left her lips in white clouds as she hurried on to the cafe where she had promised to meet him. She was certain she was going to be late - it was her first time in the Seconds' World capital city, and she had made a few wrong turns already. Thankfully, the people of the city were kind, and eager to help, and she had managed to get the right directions eventually.
Late, she thought to herself, looking up at a clock on the top of a bell tower as she passed by. She was going to be sooooo late ...
Finally she spotted the cafe where she was supposed to be, and she wrapped her cloak tighter around herself, her heart pounding suddenly in her chest. It wasn't the exertion ... she had great endurance, no matter the weather ... but simply the excitement of seeing her boyfriend once more.
Biting her lips anxiously, her blue eyes sparkling brightly in anticipation, she hefted her bag once more on her shoulders and opened the door to the cafe, then stepped inside and looked around for Syrus.

The golden eyes of one bandaged second moved slowly around the room that they were in. They, being, his older adopted brother and himself. He was surprised that Syrus had offered to keep an eye on him while the rest went shopping, seeing as he was supposed to meet his alleged girlfriend here.
His eyes finally stopped on a clock on the wall, and he heaved a long dusty sigh.
"Laaaaaaaate," he rasped out finally, fidding with the scarf that he had been wearing before they got here for something to do.
"You be pacient..." Syrus commented with a laugh. "It took us a bit to find this place as well, we were just here in the city much earlier than we needed to be..." He stopped and looked at the door as it opened. No, not her. He then looked back at Mummymon.
"And besides, you'll only have to suffer just a bit longer. Mom said she'd pick you up soon," he said with a smile and a nod.
"Truuuuuuuuuue" the mummy replied, with a somewhat dry chortle attatched, then looked at Syrus. "Scratch geeeeting better...almooost caaaan't seeee," he stated.
At once Syrus put his hand to his face. Mummz was right, he could barely feel where Kryie had latched on just a few weeks before. He was about to say something in reply, but the door opened again, and this time it was who he was waiting for.
He waved his hand high above his head to signal her over, a grand smile on his face.

Skye's eyes grew even brighter when she saw Syrus's hand in the air, and she hurried over to where he was. If her wings were not confined by her thick winter cloak, they would have been fluttering with her excitement.
"I am sorry ... I am late!" she exclaimed as she reached him, panting for air. "I ... lost myself and ... some people ... I ask ... not talk ... clear ..."
She lowered her bag to the floor and smiled at Syrus, then lifted her hands and signed, 'Can I sit beside you?'
She was too out of breath to speak ... she still couldn't believe she had been so lucky as to fall for someone who knew sign language. Of course, if he didn't, that would have been all right too - but it just made things easier.

Syrus smiled and inched over a bit, patting the part of the booth beside him. "Of course m'dear," he said with one of his goofy grins.
Mummymon tilted his head. Syrus had told him some time ago that Skye and Suzura had a few things in common, and now he could see why. They both could talk with their hands. He still got the whole thing confused, but he knew that she was talking. He wrapped his scarf around his face so that only his eyes would show. People got scared if he smiled at them. His mom said it was because people were afraid of things they aren't used to seeing, and he had a very...unique smile.

Skye giggled and slid onto the bench beside Syrus, then pulled her bag under the table with one foot.
Mummymon's movement caught her eye, and she looked across the table at him. Her head tilted curiously, and she looked back at Syrus.
"Who this?" she asked, her breathing having calmed enough for her to speak again. "You have new sibling, too?"
So much had happened since their last date ... she had so much to tell him ... and it looked as though she wasn't the only one. She spotted a faint scratch on his cheek, and her brow furrowed slightly with worry.
"Are you okay?" she asked softly, brushing one finger along the mark. "Did you get hurt?"
She turned her eyes back to Syrus so that she could see his reply.

Mummz slumped down a little bit in fearful shyness as he was aknowledged, eyes merely peering at his brother and his significant other. He had to admit it, she was awefully pretty.
Syrus sighed. "I have two new siblings actually. One came from the skull printed vase that Suzura told us about last time, and Mummymon," he paused to give a small motion over to the extreamly tall surprise, who slumped down even more, "came from a vase I found." He then paused again, thinking.
"Well...Kyrie...the girl that came out of the other vase...she isn't a pirate, though she looks like one," he said, rubbing his cheek.
"Weeereewollllfffff..." Mummz said through his scarf, though he didn't know that Skye couldn't hear, and thus needed to see his mouth to understand what he was saying

"P-pirate," Skye repeated slowly, nodding to show that she understood. "Mm ... mm ... Mummon?"
She looked across the table at the mummy. "Mummon?" she asked again - though somehow she knew it didn't feel quite right in her mouth.
She hadn't missed the way Syrus had rubbed his cheek however, or the fact that he hadn't answered her question. She didn't know if he didn't want to talk about it ... maybe she would try to ask him about it again later.

"Muuuuuummmmmyyyymooooon" the mummy stated, wondering why she was having such a hard time with his name. It wasn't like it was all that difficult.
"Mumm-y-mon" Syrus said, going slower so that she could catch all the movements his mouth was making. "And I'll tell you what happened later today, ok? Honestly, I'd like to get something to eat first." His hand patted his stomach and he grined.
Mummz curled up in the corner made by his side of the booth and the wall, trying to make himself as invisible as possible. He felt like he was imposing.

"Mummymon," Skye nodded, watching Syrus closely. She nodded and smiled at him, touching her fingers to his hand as he put it over his own stomach.
"Eat first," she agreed. "I am hungry as well ... it is a long way to come here."
She turned her head back to Mummymon and smiled warmly at him, her eyes sparkling brightly. "Hello, Mummymon," she said softly, reaching one hand across the table, offering it for a handshake. "I am Skye ... it is nice to meet you."

Mummz looked at her hand for a moment, pondering what to do. Slowly he reached his long arm out and grasped her hand with his bandaged one.
"Niiiice meeeeeeeet..." he drawled out. "Juussst Mummmmz fiiiiiine" he said, scarf still on his face.
Syrus smiled gently. "Mummz, Skye can't hear. She won't be able to understand you unless you take off your scarf..."
Mummz eyes went wide, and then narrowed as he shook his head no violently and tugged the scarf tighter around himself.

Skye was a little startled by the dryness of Mummymon's hand, but she didn't flinch in the least. She could feel vibrations coming from him, see a vague movement under his scarf ... but she had no idea what he was saying.
"Um ..."
She felt Syrus speaking as well and turned to look at him, but by the time she looked he had finished speaking, so she turned back to Mummymon, who seemed disinclined to speak any further.
"Um ... Syrus?" she said quietly, turning to her boyfriend, her eyes filled confusion. She raised her hands and signed, 'Did I do something wrong?'

Syrus gave a sigh, unsure of what to do to make his brother feel more comfortable. He then looked at Skye.
"No, you didn't...Mummymon is just...extremely self concious when he's out in public. He's accidently frightened away a few people whenever he trys to be friendly, so now he doesn't like to talk to people...or at least not let them see his mouth..." He shook his head.
"I've been trying to help him out, make him feel less frightened about people, but I haven't gotten too far with it yet..."

Skye lowered her eyes self-consciously and folded her hands in her lap.
"I am sorry," she murmured, a blush growing in her cheeks. "I did not mean to make him uncomfortable ..."
She looked over at Mummymon. "I will not try to make you do something that you do not want to do," she assured him. "But I would like if we can still be friends ..."

Mummymon waved his hand at Skye in an attempt to tell her it was fine before curling up tighter into the corner. Honestly, he just wanted to go home, but he had to wait for MizuMom to pick him up. Still, at least here he could hide somewhat, instead of moving from place to place like everyone else was doing right now.
A waitress finally swung by their table. Her hair looked slightly out of place, though she had an almost motherly look towards her.
"Sorry it took so long folks," she said with a small apologetic laugh. "Holidays make this place such a zoo, and I can only be at one place at once!" She looked at the table, and had to do a double take, as she thought Mummymon was an odd looking doll at first, before seeing that he was breathing. She set down menus and glasses of water.
"Ya'll just take a peek at those, and I'll be right back to take your order, m'kay darlins?" and with that she hustled over to another table with rude and impacient patrons.

Skye just smiled warmly at Mummymon, knowing that there was nothing else she could do to make him feel comfortable.
The waitress was there and gone almost before she realized it, but the next thing she knew she had a menu in her hands and was looking over it to see what she would like to have. Something hot, she decided, since she was still cold from her long trek through the snow.
"What do you think?" she asked Syrus, looking at him over the top of her menu. "Snack? Or drink?"
Or both, for that matter, she realized belatedly. But at the same time, she also realized ... she didn't know what a lot of the things on the menu were. She recognized a few names (though she hadn't tried them before), and she held up her menu to Syrus to point them out.
"What is ... hot chocolate?" she asked him quietly. "Is it good?"
From the name, she knew it was hot - which was a bonus.
